Chapter 15.

I know I haven't updated this in a very, very long time. And I have to admit, I'd almost abandoned it, but suddenly I got some new ideas and I thought – hey! Why don't I continue writing "Nothing is ever what it seems"! So here's the result, hope you'll like it. I'm sorry I let you wait for so long… but please! Review!

OoOoOoO

"Are they still after us?" Miss Parker quickly turned her head to look out of the back-window of their car.

"I can't see anyone," she answered, moaning slightly as she happened to move her injured arm. She looked at Jarod and noticed he kept on giving her worried glances. She smiled weakly, closing her eyes for a while. She still couldn't believe they managed to get away from the Centre. But they had and now it seemed like they were free again. She just prayed that this time it would last. She never wanted to be locked up at that place again. Never!

She didn't know what Jarod thought, but she knew they were extremely lucky to get away with only a gunshot wound in the shoulder. God, she could easily have been killed. If it hadn't been for Destiny, she was sure Lyle would have executed her. And that Sam decided to help them way also amazing.

"Jarod, he sacrificed his life to save ours," Miss Parker suddenly whispered. I'm so sorry Sam

First Jarod was confused. What is she talking about? Than he realized.

"Yes, I won't lie to you; they'll kill him for this… I'm sorry sweetie, but it's not your fault. It was his own decision."

Miss Parker just nodded.

"How's you shoulder?" Jarod asked worriedly.

"Just a flesh wound… but it hurts like hell," Miss Parker mumbled.

"Just hold on a little longer okay." If I could talk away the pain I swear I would

OoOoOoO

ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER
SOMEWHERE AT A MOTEL

OoOoOoO

Miss Parker's wound was carefully taken care of and after a few painkillers she'd fallen asleep. Jarod sat at the edge of the bed, watching her as she was sleeping. Destiny was lying on her chest, curled up in a tight ball, purring. He couldn't help but smile. They were back together! All three! I don't know what I would have done if I'd lost you baby

He gently stroked a bit of her dark hair out of her face, caressing her cheek. He loved her so much.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Jarod immediately stiffened. He walked up to the door and stood there, wondering if he should open it or not.

"It's room service!" A sweet female voice from outside called and Jarod decide there couldn't be a threat. He opened the door.

"Hello there handsome," the girl said, playing with her hair as she was giving Jarod a hot look.

"Ehhh… I'm sure you must have chosen the wrong room," Jarod said rather uncomfortable.
This is creepy… Just get out of here before Miss Parker wakes up

"Oh no… this is definitely the right room," the blonde said, still giving Jarod those looks.

"Listen… I want you to leave, I have a girlfriend in here who is sleeping and I would never do anything that would hurt her, so you've taken the wrong man."

"Oh that girl you came here with? She looks a little too chicken-hearted for a guy like you, right sexy?" the girl put her hands on Jarod's chest, moving closer, causing him to take several steps away. He was just about to talk when Miss Parker appeared by his side.

"Who do you call chicken-hearted?" One step closer and she punched the blonde right in her face. With a loud cry she staggered backwards and collapsed against the wall. "Bitch!" with those words Miss Parker closed the door and locked it. No one touches my man!

She walked up to Jarod. "Room service huh? Wonder what she had to offer."

"I don't even wanna know," Jarod smiled. "I thought you were sleeping, what happened to your arm?"

"Oh it's still here… and no, I heard what you said… thanks," she smiled back.

Slowly Miss Parker stepped closer to Jarod, wrapping her arms around his neck. "So what do you say about what I have to offer than?" she whispered seductively into his ear.

"What about your shoulder?" Jarod asked, slightly taken aback by her sudden actions. He'd never seen Miss Parker this way before. But I can't say that I complain!

"Jarod, it won't fall off," Miss Parker said. "Besides it doesn't hurt right now anyway," she added, kissing Jarod. He responded with a soft moan. It takes more than a hurt shoulder to keep me from being with you baby.

OoOoOoO

Wearing only their underwear, they fell onto the bed still kissing passionately. Destiny meowed loudly, trying to get some attention but this time she wasn't heard. Seemingly annoyed she left the bed and jumped down onto the floor.

"Wonder how our kids will look like?" Miss Parker gasped out as Jarod continued caressing her body. He'd just made it to her belly when he stopped and looked up at her confused. How can she think of that now?

"I mean since we're obviously not planning on using…" she cut herself off as Jarod slid his hand further down.

He paused again. "Protection… I so haven't thought of that…" he mumbled.

Miss Parker smiled. "What the hell!" she said.

"You want kids?"

"Yeah, but only if you do…"

Jarod laughed. "I couldn't want anything more than a family with you!" he said happily. Oh my god, this is really happening!

Miss Parker giggled. "Than let's get started!"

Jarod leaned down to place kisses on her stomach. At the same time one of his hands travelled down her body, lightly touching her through her panties. Miss Parker moaned and Jarod couldn't help but teasing her a little. His hand slowly found its way under the thin material that was in the way.

He kept teasing her a while before taking his hand away again, Miss Parker begged him to continue and he just smirked, moving upwards to place a kiss on her mouth again. He slowly reached behind her back to unclasp her bra. Wow you are so beautiful, god I've died and went to heaven.

A while later the rest of their clothes joined the bra on the floor, there Destiny immediately started to drag them away. These things looked really interesting, and besides, no one had time to play with her now anyway.

OoOoOoO

About one hour later, Miss Parker and Jarod were lying, close together, totally exhausted but with a smile on their lips.

"We should make that a habit," Jarod smiled. She is amazing!

"Definitely." I love you Jar, you're the best thing that could possibly happen to me.

"So what do you say, wanna join me in the shower?" Jarod asked.

"Sure why not."

"Good!"

Together they headed for the bathroom. Without looking, Jarod reached to turn the water on.

"Hot?" Miss Parker asked, eying the shower.

"Hot enough," Jarod answered, kissing Miss Parker again. I just can't get enough of those lips of hers.

Still kissing they stepped into the shower. None of them noticed the kitten hurrying away from the warm water, loudly meowing and with its fur wet. Neither did they notice the cloths she had dragged into the shower…

OoOoOoO

The "please clean our room" sign were still hanging on their door, and while they were showering; an older woman came in to clean the room. She took away the sheets, cleaned the floor quickly, before lightly knocking on the bathroom door.

"Excuse me, do you want me to come back later for the bathroom?" she asked through the closed door.

Miss Parker and Jarod looked at each other. "Damn," Miss Parker mumbled. "I forgot the sign."

Jarod sighed. "No, just hold on a sec," he shouted back.

They both quickly dried themselves and gave the lady their towels through a chink of the door.

"I'm sorry for the interruption, I'll come back with new bedclothes and towels a little later so you'll have time to get changed," she said before leaving the room.

"Nice lady," Jarod stated.

"Yeah… so why didn't you invite her here. We could have shared the shower all three…" Miss Parker said sarcastically.

"Oh come on, it wasn't that bad!" Jarod laughed.

"You're right! Sorry…" Nothing can go wrong when I'm with you

OoOoOoO

Suddenly Jarod spotted their wet clothes at the bottom of the shower. What the hell? How did they end up there?

"Honey, do you think Destiny could have…" he started but cut himself off as the wet kitten came sneaking into the room. She could have!

Miss Parker looked at him questioningly. Jarod smiled and gave the wet clothes and Destiny a meaning look.

When Miss Parker understood what he meant, she shook her head amused and couldn't help but laugh. And I thought cats' hated water… poor kitty!

She went out of the bathroom to get their bag with clothes but couldn't find it anywhere. Suddenly she realized, they'd forgotten it in the car. She walked back to Jarod.

"What's wrong?" Jarod asked as he saw her troubled look.

"What's wrong! We forgot our damn clothes in the car and now we're standing here naked with nothing to put on! That's what's wrong."

OoOoOoO
